Existing psychological theories like Basking in Reflected Glory (BIRGing), social identity, and self-perception primarily explain how individuals derive self-worth from affiliations. This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical framework called the Illusory Shared Honor Effect (ISHE) - the illusory sense of shared honor resulting from perceived affiliation with a successful entity. ISHE functions as a psychological mechanism prompting individuals to perceive shared illusory honor despite its potential irrationality. Drawing from a wide range of social, cognitive, and motivational theories, this paper explores the antecedents, manifestation, and implications of ISHE across multiple contexts. This paper also illustrate how ISHE operates in real-life scenarios such as political affiliations, organizational success, and sports fandom. Moreover, this paper discusses both the positive and negative implications of ISHE, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. This paper concludes with potential directions for future research, highlighting the importance of empirical studies to further validate this theoretical framework.

<hen using technology such as nuclear power, it is important to understand the level of public awareness. It can be speculated that the difference in risk perception of Fukushima food between Korea and Japan is one of the causes of international disputes between Korea and Japan. (Sample size is small, n =176) According to a survey conducted in 2020, Koreans have a higher risk perception of Fukushima food compared to other countries. These differences can be caused by a number of factors, including politic, demographic, and level of education. Public campaigns and education on the effects of radiation may be needed to lower Koreans' awareness of the risks to Fukushima food. It is also necessary to understand the level of risk awareness in other countries to consider new policies.

We study The Poems of Tennyson, edited by Christopher Ricks. We draw the natural logarithm of the number of the titles of the poems, normalised, starting with a letter vs the natural logarithm of the rank of the letter, normalised. We conclude that the The Poems of Tennyson, edited by Christopher Ricks, can be characterised by BP(4, βH = 0), i.e. the magnetisation curve in the Bethe-Peierls approximation of the Ising Model, in the presence of four nearest neighbours and in the absence of external magnetic field, H, with βH = 0. β is 1/(k_B T), where, T is temperature and k_Bis the tiny Boltzmann constant.

This paper analyzes the Attention Hijacking Effect (AHE) Theory, a novel psychological construct that elucidates the allocation of limited attentional resources in an information saturated society. The AHE posits that individuals primarily concentrate on subjects pertinent to their work, life, and interests, maintaining sustained attention over time. However, transient attention is often allocated to news and trending social events due to their minimal relevance to daily life. The theory underscores the significance of relevance in attention allocation, aligning with the concept of selective attention. The paper further identifies gaps in the current understanding of AHE, proposing future research directions, including the investigation of AHE dynamics and the development of attention allocation measurement tools. The practical implications of AHE, such as informing the design of information delivery systems and educational materials, are also discussed. This comprehensive theoretical framework provides a foundation for understanding attention allocation amidst information overload.

Illusory Shared Dishonor Effect (ISDE) is a novel theory first proposed by Bryce Petofi Towne. This article introduces the concept of formation of ISDE. The author hopes that this paper serves as a theoretical framework to investigate how sense of shame is shared and how it may shape the society as whole.

This article introduces the theories of Illusory Shared Honor Effect for Objects (ISHE for Objects) and Illusory Shared Dishonor Effect for Objects (ISDE for Objects) proposed by Bryce Petofi Towne. These two theories are derived from Illusory Shared Honor Effect and Illusory Shared Dishonor Effect proposed by the same author.

In this empirical investigation, we delve into the phenomenon known as the "Attention Hijacking Effect" (AHE). Utilizing Google's annual search index data spanning from 2006 to 2022, we have amassed a comprehensive dataset from four countries: the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and France. This dataset, comprising 1089 entries, each correlating with annual news events as listed on Wikipedia, provides an expansive perspective on the shifting attention towards specific news terminologies over time.We employed linear regression analysis to explore the relationship between the familiarity with news-related terms and the duration of attention these terms command. Our findings indicate a significant positive correlation across all four countries, statistically significant at the 0.01 level. However, the variance explained (R-squared values) is relatively low, suggesting the potential existence of other influential factors not considered in this study that significantly impact the duration of attention.These findings underscore the complexity of attention dynamics and the necessity for continued scholarly exploration in this field. We anticipate that these insights will render our readers more informed and enhance their understanding of the AHE theory.

The Illusory Shared Honor Effect (ISHE) is a phenomenon that has created a link between individual and collective psychology. According to the survey in the article, 70% - 80% of the surveyed researchers report experiencing the ISHE effect, which also increases recognition of organizations such as their alma mater. Simply put, the ISHE effect highlights a connection between individual and collective psychology, which can strengthen a sense of collective identity. The ISHE effect is a common phenomenon that manifests in a variety of contexts, such as business, politics, and other fields. The ISHE effect provides new theoretical support for these domains, elucidating how individuals may perceive a sense of shared honor with other members of their group despite variations in their actual contributions to the group's success.The ISHE effect is distinguished by its novelty, as no previous research had identified this phenomenon. As a result, the author's discovery of the ISHE effect has the potential to significantly advance not only psychology but also other related fields.

The Attention Hijacking Effect (AHE) theory, recently posited in empirical studies, offers a fresh perspective on attention allocation, specifically in the context of news consumption. This paper undertakes a comprehensive examination of the AHE theory, positing that attention devoted to personal matters tends to be sustained over extended periods, while attention towards societal issues and news is often fleeting. The paper explores the roots of the AHE theory in existing models of attention, its theoretical underpinnings, potential implications, and potential avenues for future research. This theoretical exploration contributes to the scholarly dialogue on attention allocation in information-saturated societies.

This article advances the knowledge on teaching and training new artificial intelligence algorithms, for securing, preparing, and adapting the healthcare system to cope with future pandemics. The study develops a concept healthcare system supported by autonomous artificial intelligence that can use edge health devices with real-time data. Two case scenarios are constructed for applying cybersecurity with autonomous artificial intelligence for (1) self-optimising predictive cyber risk analytics of failures in healthcare systems during a Disease X event (i.e., undefined future pandemic), and (2) self-adaptive forecasting of medical production and supply chain bottlenecks during future pandemics. The research study uses the case of Covid-19 to synthesise data for the algorithms — i.e., for optimising and securing digital healthcare systems in anticipation of Disease X. The testing scenarios are built to tackle the logistical challenges and disruption of complex production and supply chains for vaccine distribution with optimisation algorithms.
